Re: URIs as inputs and outputs

/ ht@inf.ed.ac.uk (Henry S. Thompson) was heard to say:
| 'static' resources.  That is, on the pure dataflow model, you need
| e.g. two XSLT components, one with one input and a static resource
| stylesheet, and one with two inputs.

Uhm, why is this not sufficient?

  <p:step name="xslt">
    <p:input name="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.xsl"/>
    <p:input name="document" label="ptrtosomestepsoutput"/>
  </p:step>

| One obvious glitch is document sequences. . .

Indeed. It also seems to impose a particular implementation on the
processor. I'd like it if (some subset of) pipelines could be used to
describe straight-through SAX event streams which is how some pipeline
processors are currently implemented.
